So I bought what was once Bad Dog's truggy. I thought about trying to work the 4 link setup into my Jimmy but he did such a nice job on everything it would be a shame to ruin it all. Brad got the trans and doubler setup

All it needs is engine, trans, t-case and a body and I'm good to go. I have either a TH400/NP205 or SM465/205 setup to go into it. I have access to the 350 TBI motor that was in it (easiest) or thought about a 5.3 (twice the cost).

For a body, I'm thinking about a wrecked 2004 Chevy ext cab. It's basically free and a good starting point.

He is the way it sits now:

Could you get more pics on that coil setup? or post a couple in my thread in the garage?
 
If brad is at the shop tomorrow I can get a few. Its on the lift right now with a car under it. If not, I should have it at the house next weekend
 
Hell yeah this is going to be way cool. A hell of a good start.

I was thinking tho. The manual trans will be more of a pain in the ass vs. doing an auto. Due to the clutch linkage. And auto will just be a cable and done.

This week let's check out the cab and see from there. The extra room will be nice.

Unless you do a hydro clutch...

Sweet start, sub'd!
 
Well, it looks like even though 63ChevyII bought the trans and double, I will still be running a doubler only with a TH400. If I can gather the $$$, it will have a 5.3 motor
